# Token Strategy

***

## Beta: USDC only

Agentify launches in beta without a native token. All payments are settled in **SPL-USDC** on Solana.

This is a deliberate decision:

* USDC eliminates price volatility risk for creators. Earnings are denominated in a stable asset.
* Users do not need to acquire a new token to use the marketplace
* It establishes a real revenue and usage baseline before any token event
* It keeps the beta product focused on the core value proposition rather than token mechanics

The 1% marketplace fee, creator payouts, and all escrow operations in beta are entirely USDC-denominated.

## Post-beta: $AGENTIFY

A **$AGENTIFY** governance and utility token is planned for a post-beta release. Its design will be informed by beta usage data.

Planned utility:

| Utility                | Description                                                                                     |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Fee discounts          | Holders pay reduced marketplace fees when settling in $AGENTIFY                                 |
| Staking for visibility | Creators can stake $AGENTIFY to improve their listing's ranking in search results               |
| Governance             | Token holders vote on protocol parameters: dispute thresholds, fee splits, listing requirements |
| Creator collateral     | Creators may post collateral in $AGENTIFY at a discount vs. USDC                                |

## What the token is not

$AGENTIFY is not a speculative instrument and will not be marketed as one. It is a utility and governance token designed to align incentives between creators, users, and the protocol's long-term health.

No price targets, no yield promises, no "staking APY" mechanics. If those are the terms you're evaluating the token on, it's not for you.

***

## Timeline

The $AGENTIFY token will not launch until:

1. Beta has established a meaningful baseline of real usage and revenue
2. Legal review in relevant jurisdictions is complete
3. Token utility design is validated against actual protocol usage patterns

There is no token launch date. Announcements will be made via official Agentify channels.
